@lorioftheforest So many movies tell you the story of that guy who works his entire life and makes it to the top. Not many movies ever tell you about the guy who pours his soul into his work and still dies alone. Ed Wood is a rare gem.
yeah, LUGOSI'S delivery may have been a bit more subdued but MARTIN LANDAU nailed down this part ..thus the ACADEMY AWARD..many times in this movie watching LANDAU i was watching LUGOSI..
@MetrazolElectricity yes Landau has a fishface, but Bela was a good looking man. And Bela had blue blazing eyes, which is what made him such a good dracula.
This gives me so many different emotions at once. If only Lugosi could have lived long enough to see this movie. I think it would have warmed his heart to really know that he's still respected and admired by so many people.
@GregERobertson I think deep down, Bela Lugosi knew Ed wood's films were utter shit and that it would be an embarrassment for him to star in them, but I guess it was better than sitting at home and watering his plants.
That he did, when Ed found Bela he was a failed broken man addicted to morphine and other drugs, Bela at that time was a shell of the man he'd been at his peak, typecast, alone and forgotten reduced to low budget name only roles and Dracula revivals. Though Ed's movies are the worst ever made, he managed to get Bela back on the screen, to proove to the world he still had it, he died a happy man, with a script in hand, an artist to the end
the scene where bela died i almost cried

Why cut before the audience in the street clap and Bela delivers his final speech. Why ruin a good scene?

You may laugh, but Bela (and by extension Martin) made cheesy lines like that awesome!

I wish Landau looked more like Bela. Unfortunately, he's a remote resemblance

Probably Tim Burton's best film of all time... and this delivery by Martin Landau is a screaming testament to Bela's greatness.

@Vortex42,
Truly is his best film, and Martin Landau walked like a giant in this film. Deserved the Oscar in ever way.

Great cinematography!!! The way it lines up with the arch on Landau's monolog. The low angle, the gargoyle ....... pure genius

Ed Wood may have made the cheesiest movies but he made that old man feel like he was somebody again. . .Ed gave him happiness, he died a happy man
